Children always learn from their parents, and children are inspired by what parents do. So a parent should never gamble in front of his child, it will cause serious harm to the child. So if a parent gambles then they should not gamble in front of their children but gamble secretly so that gambling does not affect their children. And to be a responsible gambler, one must take these things seriously, so that no child in his family is affected by gambling.
Parents don't have to participate in gambling in front of their children but the young boys and girls of today's generation learn a lot about gambling automatically from the environment. As a result of the use of mobile phones by young boys and girls, they automatically get the idea of gambling in this case, parents do not do anything. Despite their best efforts, parents cannot control their children's addiction to mobile phones, as a result, children become attracted to gambling by seeing mobile advertisements, and from this attraction, boys and girls become gamblers. So I don't blame any parent nowadays for their son becoming a gambler.
while digitalization has advantage, it has disadvantage as well. kids love to imitate what happens in his around, but your point make a lot of sense. nowadays gambling advertisements spreading almost everywhere, and it's hard to bypass. for instance you're watching sports, and gambling advertisements almost every where so no way to avoid it. Fact that gambling is so freaking addictive, maybe it shouldn't be advertised. But unfortunately constant ads for gambling websites make your kids fascinate on it, and ultimately back to this dark place. For parents it's hard-soul job, despite their efforts they cannot control their children's addiction either on watching TV or using mobile phones.
